NEVILLE-JONES, Baroness

    *12(h)  Secretarial research and assistance

      In my capacity as Shadow Minister for Security, my office receives financial support from Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ).
      • Research assistance - CCHQ have applied a donation from Mr. Dolar Popat to finance my Special Adviser.   This has also been declared to the Electoral Commission by the Conservative Party.
      • Secretarial assistance - CCHQ pay directly for part time secretarial assistance.   No specific donor is involved; the funds come from general provision by the Conservative Party to support my work as a member of the Shadow Cabinet.

      These arrangements support me in carrying out my specific frontbench responsibilities as a Shadow Cabinet Minister.   They do not support me in the performance of any other duties as a member of the House of Lords
